JEALOUS OF a SHADOW.

Fresh as q rose looked Helen
Morny as she came in from the
woods, on the clear autumn after
noon, with her apron full Of wild

glanced up at her bright, flushed
face, with sombre eyes full of past
memories.

saucily demanded Helen, as she flung
the purple cluster on the table,

GOLDEN WEDDING.



Just fifty years of sun and shade,
OF frost and snow aud epleasan
weather,
Since hand in hand this youth ant
maid
Entered the path OF life together.
Their fortunes small, their cares tn,
same,
Happy indeed, their humble life,
But poor can never man remain,
Who leaves at home u careful wife
This husband faithful to his toll,
And working hard from morn til
night,
Knew at home the kettle boiled.
That house and hearth we've clean
and bright.
The soil was friendly to their needs,
And fields grew rich with grass and
grain;
The garden spot was free from weeds
And yielded, thanks to sun aud rain
But Heaven sends better blessings
Than those that come from wood or
field,
And brighter is mothers crown
Than all the fruits farm can yield.
So, when the grain was gathered
home
And reapers sang the harvest song,
Hopes harvest bloomed-a little son
Was sent to lead II mighty throng.
For brothers seven and sisters three,
Came one by one with busy years,
And each the parents toll increased
And left no time for doubts and
fears.
And when the farm became too small
To give reward to honest toll,
Twas then they moved to Prospect
Hill"
For broader view and richer soil.
Twas there the youngest of the seven
Gave back his infant life to God.
Left home on earth for home in heav-
en-;
His body rests meath Fairviews sod.
These many years our household band
Has still remained uubroken
Though some have homes in distant
iands,
Each one has sent some token.
That we may know their loving thots
Are sent from far away,
That grateful children Join to bless
This Golden Wedding Day.
May God, whose blessings crown this
day,
Who long has kept us in our places,
Grant that your life's declining rays
May brightly shine on hearts and
faces.
That memories OF duty done,
OF kindness given to foe and friends;
Be your reward, so richly won,
A happiness that never ends.
And as you journey down the slope,
God smooth the path and calm the
weather
And grant you both shining hope
OF blssful life with Him forever.

The Tobacco Tax.

Petitions praying the repeal OF the In
ternal-revenue tax on tobacco are now
being circulated among the cigar-manu-
facturers of Baltimore, Lancaster, Pa,
and othercities and are being numerously
signed. The Philadelphia Nc,cS, IN
commenting on this, says;
"If the tobacco tax were abolished
hundreds of small manufacturers would
90 into business. The annoying and
vexatious demands of the law now keep
them out. An ordinary cigar-maker can
not open q shop like shoemaker and
make goods for himself or any one else.
The abolition of the present law would
cheaper the product. 1t would give
farmers better prices for their tobacco.
1t would raise the standard OF goods. 1t
would get rid of almost the entire sur
plus revenue OF the United States.
"Let Congress give this matter care
full attention. The tobacco tax should
90. 1t should 60 soon. There isn't
single reason for retaining it. The cOun-
try will soon demand its repeal as ne
cessity."
If the cigar-makers are interested in
the repeal of the tax to the extent de-
scrlbod, what must be said of the i'm
portance of its repeal to the people OF
the States that grow tobaccos?

What TJe Means.

The letter OF Mr. WISE which we pub
lished yesterday. written to the New
York Convention OF Republican Clubs,
is another straw that ought to enable the
people of the South TO know how the
winds would blow in this section II the
Republicans should again secure control
Of the Federal Government Mr.. WISE
said:
81 pray that the honest voters OF this
country where elections are free may IN
time wake up at finding how the solid
South has clutched this nation by the
throat, ADD that they may rise in the
majority aad liberate the real majority OF
this section from its bondage TO a base
minority
There is much implied in that SEN
tence. First "the honest voters where
elections are free" are northern men.
They are such enemies of the South as
SHERMAN, FORAKER, HALsTEAD, CHAND-
LER, and the rest of the Republican
leaders who stole the Office of President
in 1876, and who are now advocating the
policy OF returning to reconstruction
days and putting all congressional cleo
tons in the South under the control OF
these Republican ofice-grabbers. These
honest voters" would constitute fine
nurses for the South. Secondly, as the
people who have "the nation by the
throat" are the southern people, MIR.
WISE would of course have that grip re-
moved by the assistance of the power OF
the Federal Government Thirdly, the
"real majority" Mr. WISE would libe-
rate from bondage consists, of course,
mostly of negroes. They are "of,
ficered" by white men, to use General
MAHoNE's word, but still we do not
know what Mr.. WISE means II he does
not mean that wherever the negroes
have a majority of the votes the Federal
Government should see that Republl-
cans are elected to office.

An article in the Marion Patriot and

An article in the Marion Patriot and
Herald says;
"Maior Daniel, in his speech at the
Roanoke convention, boosted that he
had as q member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives refused to vote upon resolu-
ton extending a vote of thanks to Mir.
Carlisle for the manner in which he had
discharged his duties as Speaker of the
House. He was applauded by the con-
vention to the echo when ne made that
boast. In that convention sat the three
present Democratic congressman from
Virginia and yet they voted IN caucus
and in the House for Mr.. Carlisle for
Speaker of the present House of Repre-
sentatives."
They voted for friend of the South
and against an enemy of the South.
They voted as their constituents desired
them to vote. They voted SO as to save
the South from repetition of the hor-
rid political nightmare that bestrode her
in reconstruction days. They voted for
peace, prosperity, and a restored Union,
and against turmoil, adversely, and sec
tional wranglings. They voted as pa
triots and not as partisans.
And yet, losing sight OF these facts,
Mr.. WArrERsoN threatens Louisiana as
follows:
ave take the freedom to say that if
Louisiana expects the aid of Democrats
in Congress to save the sugar tax she
must send Democrats TO Congress who
will support Democratic measures OF re-
form.
That is to say, Louisiana must in order
to secure protection for her sugar inte-
rests send anti-protectionist Democrats
to Congress And of course if Virginia
desires manufactured tobacco, coal, iron
ore, sumac, or any other article pro-
tected she must send anti.protectionist
Democrats to Congress.
Ii the tariff is Of more importance to
the South than the protection of her
civilization, she of course has the right
to make that the issue, and, demanding
a division on that line, remand TO private
life Mr.. RANDALL and all the other Demo
Gratis who have in the past rendered her
services for which a lifelong gratitude
would be poor return.

DECEMBER IS, 1887.
Self-Protection


The South is solid because her highest
interests demand that she shall stand by
the party which respects her rights and
refuses to override the guarantees OF the
Federal Constitution. Ii is more i'm
portant to her that she shall not be
hsrassed by Federal officials than that
there shall be either protective tariff or
a tariff for revenue. With the success Of
the Republican party in the national
elections would come TO her the appre-
hension that her civilization was threat
ened with destruction.
II We would infer from Republican out
givings what would happen to the South
under Republican administration, we
need only consult the leading Republi-
can papers and orators. Almost with
one voice they declare that there must
be new reconstruction measures passed
Tor humiliating the South. They declare
in favor of the policy of placing the
white people of South Carolina, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, and Florida under the
heel of the negroes. And if the Repub-
hcans once get all the congressman from
those States added to their votes in Con-
gress from the northern States, then Ma
ryland, Virginia, North Carolina. Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and indeed all the
southern States, will soon thereafter be
Repubhcanized and Africanized.
The same policy was advocated indi-
rectly by the National Convention Of
Republican Clubs that was in session in
New York city last week. All their pro-
ceedings looked to forcible control of
congressional elections in the South by
the Federal Government. Think of
hundreds of delegates from the South
sitting silent in that convention and al
lowing q resolution to be passed con-
demning a southern senator for having
said that he would allow no man to call
Mr.. DAVIS traitor without meeting the
charge with a fiat contradiction. Mr..
LAMAR OuCc bdlu dDOuI MI A4NNOlN
what hundreds of thousands of southern
men said during the war, land what few
II any of us would say now and for this
utterance a Republican convention having
IN it hundreds of snnthern men declare J
they would have him excluded from a
national office.
In view of these facts. is it inconsist-
ent il the southern people to refuse to |
divide upon any question connected with
the tariff? What are higher or lower
customs-duties, or the silver question,
when coptrasted with the all-important
question as to whether we shall have
a friendly or a hostile Administration in
power in Washington ? Is there any
inconsistency in voting with our friends
rather than with our enemies
